It's not a straw man. You write an extended post about Pep being a genius - a genius who continually, according to you, signs extensions in an environment where those providing him these contracts "hamstring him". That doesn't sound like the behaviour of a genius to me.Because he's the best paid manager on earth, loves the Club and fans and is happy in Manchester?
Now that straw man is out of the way, are you going to argue we haven't gone into multiple seasons with glaring weak points in our squad that could have been filled?
The replacement we were after when Kompany left was Maguire. I don’t blame us for waiting another year to get the right man in.Seen the we waited a year to replace kompany and ended up with Dias like it was fucking great that season in between when Laporte got a serious injury and we had to play fucking Fernandinho and Garcia at centre half all season and Liverpool won the League in April.
Jesus christ man, are you going to actually address the points I brought up or just type out things I haven't even said.
Very fair commentGetting lots of replies like this, everything I posted is a fact. Kun left, we fucked up his replacement and had to play without a striker for a season. Pep worked wonders and found a false 9 system that got us through. Not replacing Kompany DID bite us on the arse as we got hit with the injury we couldn't afford to Laporte and were putting square pegs in round holes.
I'd argue aswell he is very lucky Mahrez went on strike to force a move in the Summer as he fucked the Sanchez deal up and pissed Leicester off low balling them in January. We got away with flogging Fernandinho to death the year after he let Chelsea steal Jorginho at the 11th hour after wasting the entire summer negotiating. We haven't had a natural left back since Mendy did his knee.
There's one man who deserves all the credit for our success and his name is PEP GUARDIOLA. Because he's been operating under a handicap in certain positions nearly every season. (Whilst obviously having a great squad with great players still).
I don't understand why I'm not allowed to criticise this fella, whoever it is that is dealing with negotiations whethers its Txiki, Berrada, Soriano or a combination of the three. They are just suits who spend the Sheikhs money in my opinion.
Pep is the only genius this club employs.
the only thing up in the air is his ass, he was seen buying a donut cushion, 17 different hemorrhoids treatment gels and his third set of new suitcases. at this point he’s getting a good discount on suitcases so that’s a win for joško i guess, who doesn’t like a good discount! :DHope he’s not flying wizz air
Calling opinions facts doesn’t change the fact that they are opinions. And in my opinion your comment was the worst this summer.
your english is coming on in leaps and bounds :)Doesn't need to because all of your point is shite.
I'll address them, count up the trophies over the last 11 years, look at our balance sheet. Then remember what Soriano's book said The ball doesn't go in the net by chance.It takes very good and meticulous planning from top to bottom and keeping to those plans.It's worked for the last 10 years no reason to doubt it should stop working any time soon.Jesus christ man, are you going to actually address the points I brought up or just type out things I haven't even said.
The replacement we were after when Kompany left was Maguire. I don’t blame us for waiting another year to get the right man in.
Do you mean susceptible?Its hardly 'what if the sun doesn't come up' is it? We are going into a 70 game season here and Stones is culpable to injuries.
